Neurology
Neurology is the medical specialty that deals with the physiology and diseases of the nervous system. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Diseases affecting any of these areas that do not require surgical intervention are treated by the neurology department. Neurology is divided into two branches: adult neurology and pediatric neurology. In our neurology department, specialists provide outpatient and inpatient care, as well as intensive care services for conditions that require close monitoring.
